Innertia 01:39
"It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects" - Nikola Tesla

Earth and the sky, truth and the lie In a perfect cycle Fires of Hell, the guardian who fell In a downward spiral Is this cosmic balance What it’s meant to be On through the days we carry the weight So for all eternity Run with me Across the planes of power Resonate throughout the tiers (The voice becomes clear) Set me free In the final hour Dance with the spheres To the edge of your dreams Days in the light turn into night It’s an endless struggle Heavens above, the guardians of love Powers undeniable Joining all the planets. In their silent glee Carry the tune, It’s over too soon Now into infinity Run with me Across the planes of power Resonate throughout the tiers (The voice becomes clear) Set me free In the final hour Dance with the spheres To the edge of your dreams

Gravity 05:16
So long, gravity - It's been nice to know you for a while Need no charity - staying down below just ain't our style Let's take this opportunity to rise above the haze of wasted time It's time to cross the line (Onwards) Here comes the revolution (Full force) There is no turning back, just one solution Back in the game Becoming one with the flame (Stand strong) This is your final warning (Hold on) The storm's not over, a new day is dawning Right till the end We're here to make a stand It's the reckoning - a call to those who saw beyond the lie An awakening - to find your wings and soar against the sky This is our only medicine - the inner flame reflecting in your eyes While nothing’s what it seemed before The fire burns forevermore And even when we sail against the tide The spirit never dies (Stand strong) This is your final warning (Hold on) The storm's not over, a new day is dawning Right till the end We're here to make a stand

I’m on my way Been watching the world in shades of grey And though my eyes are tired The need still feeds the fire Another day Still hoping the clouds will go away And when I see a ray of light I’m gonna shoot for the sun Don’t care if it blinds me Forget what is done I leave it behind me I feel it - the spirit Trapped inside the darkness of the night Let it embrace me Hold on to the light Let nothing escape me Inspired - like fire I won't go out without a fight I'm on my way Joined by the ones who couldn’t stay But though we run together I know it’s now or never Another day Spinning in this endless ballet But now I know the time is right I’m gonna shoot for the sun Don’t care if it blinds me Forget what is done I leave it behind me I feel it - the spirit Trapped inside the darkness of the night Let it embrace me Hold on to the light Let nothing escape me Inspired - like fire I won't go out without a fight

Incarnate 04:28
Living the dream - for a while - where daylight dies There are worlds you can’t see with open eyes Step right in, tonight the veil is thin You believe what you see - there’s so much more On a journey that begins with open doors New galaxies but now I’ve seen it all I’m coming home Nowhere else I would go I’ve seen this world and beyond It’s time to move on I’m coming home In the eye of the storm - no room for lies Out of reach for all those who paid the price Sometimes one just has to roll the dice One day your dreams will make you walk into the fire Burning away what is left of your days Within those dreams you can soar even higher With no other place left to go I’m coming home Only place I belong I’ve seen this world and beyond It’s time to move on I’m coming home The end of my road One day your dreams will make you walk into the fire Burning away what is left of your days Within those dreams you can soar even higher With no other place left to go I’m coming home Nowhere else I would go I’ve seen this world and beyond It’s time to move on I’m coming home I’m coming home The place I belong Been gone for so long I’ve seen this world and beyond This is my home Living the dream - for a while - where daylight dies There are worlds you can’t see with open eyes Step right in, tonight the veil is thin

No Shelter 05:53
Trapped at the bottom of my mind Stars perfectly aligned now But I’m the one to draw the line No more poison for the soul I’ll find a way, regain control If hope is gone, then come what may There’s never gonna be another day I’ve seen the end and what comes next I know, I know There is no shelter from the storm Spoken with the architect I know, I know His crown won’t grow another thorn No shelter from the storm Nowhere to turn, we’ve been left on our own Breathe, let the poison out your lungs Let words roll of your tongue now No use in waiting for a sign Countless questions never asked I’ll live this day like it’s my last If hope is gone, then come what may There’s never gonna be another day I’ve seen the end and what comes next I know, I know There is no shelter from the storm Spoken with the architect I know, I know His crown won’t grow another thorn No shelter from the storm Nowhere to turn, we’ve been left on our own

Amorphous 04:25
There comes a day to forget all you relied on There comes a time to forget all that you knew You will learn to see things in a new way as the night falls All that matters is the deeds I’ll make you do Rise in anger Time to remember - we live for danger This world will never see the truth… oh no Stronger, greater Never surrender - we’re the offenders This world will burn when we are through You and I are the way and the future lies at our feet No regrets, it’s all set, take the step, enjoy the view Rise in anger Time to remember - we live for danger This world will never see the truth… oh no Stronger, greater Never surrender - we’re the offenders This world will burn when we are through

Unleash the fire Let it burn out of control Feed your desires The world is on its knees, that’s how we roll Unrelenting Time to settle all the scores Cue the ending Let’s see it turn to dust forevermore Burn every dream Break every bone Let go of your fears And let me set you free Hear every scream Left on your own I am what you need So let me turn the key Unleash the demon in me Beyond the boundaries Break outside to look within Like astral armies The pieces are in place, the game begins Neverending Another day might never come The night descending Let’s take another step before it’s done Burn every dream Break every bone Let go of your fears And let me set you free Hear every scream Left on your own I am what you need So let me turn the key Unleash the demon in me Lost in your steps, aimless you roamed - never to return Your dreams in decay, in the eye of the storm - there's one who knows the way Once you were broken but never again Burn every dream Break every bone Let go of your fears And let me set you free Hear every scream Left on your own I am what you need So let me turn the key Unleash the demon in me

Multiversal 04:09
Shadows arising, knocking on our doors We've been waiting for the longest time and now it’s done For the ages, eating at our souls We've been walking blind and waiting for a wake up call We’re gonna dream what we wanna dream - we’re gonna We’re gonna leave when we wanna leave Nothing seems what it really is If we’re kept in the darkness All trapped within this illusion Enslaved but we don’t understand The time works for the masters The hourglass turns at the end Breaking the silence, let the curtain fall Is it time for us to finally see what lies beyond We’re gonna dream what we wanna dream - we’re gonna We’re gonna leave when we wanna leave Nothing seems what it really is If we’re kept in the darkness All trapped within this illusion Enslaved but we don’t understand The time works for the masters The hourglass turns at the end

Thunderbird 05:42
A ray of light In an fiery dawn We'll celebrate the night The coming of the storm Turn back Step into the night so black Forget all you've ever learnt It's always been us against the world Step forth A wild wind blows from the north Be ready to spread your wings Rise over the noise tomorrow brings Thunder roars inside of you Louder every day In this world just passing through Into the never Oh, riding the wings of the storm Gone with the dust and from ashes reborn Oh, heading into the unknown A whirlwind of fire and thunder The wings of the storm Once more Where no man has gone before There won't be no guiding light So turn back and step into the night Arise The flame burning in your eyes The blood flowing through your veins A part of the force that can't be tamed Thunder roars inside of you Louder every day In this world just passing through Beyond forever Oh, riding the wings of the storm Gone with the dust and from ashes reborn Oh, heading into the unknown A whirlwind of fire and thunder The wings of the storm Oh, I see the light of new dawn Gone is the night, here comes the storm Let this be the day The world finally listens to those who have something to say Oh, riding the wings of the storm Gone with the dust and from ashes reborn Oh, heading into the unknown A whirlwind of fire and thunder The wings of the storm

Ascension 05:17
Can they ever forgive us We never thought this moment would come in our lives Deafening silence, not a single voice in a song that’s been fading out Don’t try looking for answers - all you need you’ve always felt inside Every moment will bring a new note from within, we will sing for our sins Just give in now... And I know that we can change Before the music stops And it all fades to black Took me so long to realize It was only an echo - the beat of our hearts Songs of the timeless, the distant noise we thought we could live without All of us are the answer - in the choir we’ll find a brand new start Step inside, it is time, find your voice, join the rhyme, at the end of our time Let us sing now... And I know that we can change Before the music stops And it all fades to black And I know there is a way Up there between the stars So they don’t fade to black for us There’s a chance for a new day New balance can be found Before all fades to black for us All fades to black...
